Mr. Scott,

It is apparent that you know very little about the chip collecting hobby from your statement: "For any collectable base to grow you must attract investors. Now if you do not think this is true ask the people who signed the list if a single one of them has ever stood in line to get more than
one LE. all of the extras was an investment."

The extras we get are for the most part to have traders. There are only a hand full of dealers in this hobby who try to make a living by selling chips. Other than these dealers, who make a very small premium on selling LE's, everyone else who gets an extra is usually getting one for a friend who couldn't be on the line. You have a singular view of our hobby, a business view. There is very little opportunity for businesses in our hobby, because the vast majority of chip transactions are between collectors, usually trades. This is something you cannot understand because making money is not involved.

There is a group of chippers who have agreed to supply chips at face value plus postage to others in the group when new chips are released. I have done this myself when going out on a chip run. We are not looking to make money, but to help our friends. Can you understand that?

Since you are not a collector, I would classify you as an investor. Someone with little regard for the hobby, other than as a method for making money. We have seen what investors have done to the coin hobby and the sports card collecting hobby. Please take your business elsewhere, we are not interested.
